post 3 - 5 songs that remind you of your muse. repost, don’t reblog.

Getting Scared -- Imogen Heap

The only times of my life The sun was meant to shine for me You made it pour down, pour down with tears of rain And dug my pride with a knife Encaged by your obsession with me Time for some mental torture and screams of justified pain So you're gonna chase me now, boy? Yeah you're gonna corner me now, boy? You think you're gonna threaten me now, boy? Well, somehow I don't think so Yeah you're gonna stamp me down now, boy? Yeah you're gonna crush me down now, boy? You think you're gonna threaten me now, boy? Well, somehow I don't think so

so let’s start this off with some young (either child or teen) shen’s revenge fantasies, which would have been fairly vague and. well, with a suitably vague target/range, as well, bc no one person has consistently mistreated or abused him thinking emoji

unfortunately, his entitlement and anger isn’t focused exactly on any one individual or even group of people, it’s scattered about to encompass Everyone. this means that he’d have been moved to react violently (and feel justified in it) when young if he only felt threatened or ridiculed, no matter the truth of the situation

Jumper -- Third Eye Blind

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in And if you do not want to see me again I would understand, I would understand The angry boy a bit too insane Icing over a secret pain You know you don't belong You're the first to fight, you're way too loud You're the flash of light on a burial shroud [...] I never thought it would come to this And I, I want you to know Everyone's got to face down the demons Maybe today, you could put the past away

ngl this song brings me to tears on bad days jfkf;a but anYWAY. i think the reason this reminds me of shen is fairly self-explanatory tbh :o tho i will admit i do often think of it as po speaking to him for some reason. there’s actually a few songs like that in my shen playlist, now i think about it

Seein’ Red -- Unwritten Law

Don't think you'll have to see my face again Don't have much time for sympathy 'Cause it never happened to me You're feeling blue now I think you bit off more than you could chew [...] I confess I don't know what to make from all this mess Don't have much time for sympathy But it never happened to me You're feeling down now I don't know where I'll be when you come around And now it's time to make a choice And all I wanna hear is your voice... 

whispers that ‘you’re feeling blue now’ part i imagine is shen on some level toward the soothsayer at some point during the movie. probably like right after she realizes he can’t be swayed near the end of their last scene together 6^6;

and also ‘i don’t know where i’ll be when you come around’ just. gives me Thoughts tbh lies down

actually, this song in general is one i kinda see shen and the soothsayer switching on and off with-- some lines make me think of her trying to get through to him (there’s even a line specifically saying ‘and what i’d do to get through to you’) while others remind me more of shen thinking about the soothsayer’s words and such _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_

Animal -- Sir Chloe

Shoulda known better, I tried to stay cool. You were telling me I’m such a fool to say no. Number one. Make me behave like an animal Make me behave like an animal. I’m asking nicely, give me what I want. I’ll ask politely, give me what I want.

so as you probably guessed this is here mostly bc of those last two lines. that’s it i got nothing else i’m a simple creature ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Vide Noir -- Lord Huron

Many evils have I enjoyed Prowling the night raising hell with the boys Getting high on a pure, black void I am only an aimless soul Heading into a pure, black void So what if I'm living out past the edge? So what if I never come back again? Where can you go when it’s all in your head? These are the last words that I ever said Where can you go when it’s all in your head?

and here we have arrived at the One i have specifically for main verse shen, which is probably in all honesty the most depressing, soul crushing verse i have the more i think on it ᘓ( ᐛ )ᘕ why did i think that was a good idea

anywho-- ‘i am only an aimless soul’ ‘so what if i never come back again’ ‘where can you go when it’s all in your head’ :chinhands:

the idea of shen feeling in some deep part of himself that no one would really mourn much if he simply disappeared hurts me, but mostly bc gDI SHEN the soothsayer is RIGHT THERE, but i like the idea that while he does believe she’d miss him (since she’s shown this reaction before when he does disappear and when he first just about came back from the dead), he also on some level feels that she’d get on fine enough eventually. considering their current situation, she might even be better off

and a small bonus instrumental one

What Must Be Done -- Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

feels very ‘The Inevitable Ending of Undoing’-esque, which is probably made more evident to me by the title
